Chapter 14:
I closed my eyes, waiting for the inevitable sound of a gun being fired. Hearing it, albeit quieter that I expected, I instantly rolled in the opposite direction, aiming not to get shot. Opening my eyes, I realized why I hadn’t been shot, and was amazed.
“Mom?” I whispered, unable to believe it.
“Michelle, get out of here now.” She said, having taken down the remaining guards. Her voice was raspy, as if she’d not used it in a long time.
“Come on, this way,” I said, inclining my head. I started to run, my mom deciding that following me would be better than staying.
“What are you doing here?” She asked, once she had caught up to me, sidling against the wall.
“Do you want the long story or the short story?” I asked, timing my run so that I missed the cameras. “You’ll probably hear the long story soon, anyway.” I muttered, racing around the next corridor. A solitary, shadowy figure was skulking up and down the corridor, and I instinctively flattened myself against the wall, mom aiming the gun at the person.
“Michelle,” mom said, attempting to hold me back as I tried to skirt around the person who was patrolling. I looked back, shaking my head; I’d seen something that she hadn’t.
“Come on!” I said forcefully, and she obeyed reluctantly. “Dad, we’re here.” I whispered, and the figure stepped into the light.
“We don’t have much time; we need to get out now!” He commented. “That way’s the quickest way out!” He told us, pointing down the corridor. Taking the hint, I quickly slipped into it, followed by my mom.
The few people that we encountered were quickly dealt with, either through fighting or being shot. Making it out of the compound, I half-collapsed on the ground and looked up at my dad.
“Did you plan all of this?” I whispered, careful to avoid being detected.
Hanging his head, he muttered, “Yes, I did. I knew both of you would be here tonight, it was just luck that we all met.”
“Never mind that,” I interrupted. “We need to get back to LA, and fast! I lost my comm. during the attack; we’ve got no way of contacting anyone.”
“What about Will?” Mom asked, and I shook my head.
“No, he’s back in LA as well.” I replied, all hope lost.
“Come on, do you really think he’d abandon you?” A familiar voice said, walking out of the shadows by the building.
“Glad you could finally make it,” I replied, smiling at him.
“Hey, give me a break, the traffic was bad!” He replied. “Come on, we’ve got CIA agents who are going to be swarming this place soon and we need to get back to LA. We’ve got a lot to catch up on, namely seventeen lost years!” He commented, turning and walking away. Laughing silently to myself, I followed him.
I’m going home, I thought to myself.
I’m finally going home, after seventeen years, I’m going home!
